Tallulah Interim Mayor Yvonne Lewis said this week that the local Dollar General store will reopen as a Dollar General Market after renovations.
Lewis said she spoke with a regional manager who told her the store will reopen under the Dollar General Market format.
“The Dollar General Market differs from the regular stores as they have select choices of fresh meat, produce and other grocery items. They will still sell their regular household items as well.”
A notice posted on the front doors of the store states that the location is closed and will reopen.

State Senator Johnny DuPree sought to have Mississippi get ahead of the confusion by implementing rounding guidance for cash purchases. The bill died in committee.
The U.S. Mint ceased production of pennies in November 2025 after President Donald Trump (R) issued an executive order to end production of the one cent coin. Trump called continuing to mint the coin “wasteful” as it was costing more than double its value to produce.
